Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Comme constructeur de berlines, de VUS compacts à intermédiaires et de fourgonnettes, GAC couvre des montes de pneus variées. Les VUS compacts (type GS4) et les électriques Aion utilisent fréquemment des jantes de 17 à 19 pouces, tandis que les modèles plus imposants (GS8, M8) peuvent monter en 18-20 pouces. L'entraxe est généralement de type 5 trous, courant sur ces segments. Vérifiez toujours la dimension exacte inscrite sur la portière (ex. largeur/série/diamètre) avant l'achat. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués sont obligatoires de décembre à mars ; pour les électriques, privilégiez des pneus à faible résistance au roulement afin de préserver l'autonomie par temps froid.
